Do you use a receiver on each monolight/strobe/flash or only one and use the photo slave pick up the flash and fire the others?

Also B&H is out of them, where else should I look?

Thanks again for the help. Denny

I just put one receiver on a single strobe and the others set to slave. The Pocket Wizard transmitter goes in the hot shoe. The ($25)Pocket Wizard meter module goes inside a Sekonic L358 or L558 for wireless flash metering.
Have you tried Calumet or Adorama?

How do you conect the PW to your strobe, flash? Do I need to order any special sync cords?

No. The Pocket Wizards come with a cord that has a mini plug on one end that goes in the Pocket Wizard reciever and a phono plug end that goes in the strobe. You shouldn't have to buy any cords unless you have a strobe with an two prong outlet. Paramount makes most cords you can imagine for camera/flash use in case you need something.
